Motivation: All the backup systems are either slow or crashing or both on my backup.

Tried duply:

• works but very slow:

Tried restic:

• crashes with OOM

Goals for bakare:

• fast
• using max bandwidth
• use max cpu
• use max disk I/O
• memory usage limit
• encryption by default - asymmetric, creates a keypair for you
• deduplication of file data
• fuzzy find by file name in stored files
• failure to process one file should not affect any other files
• intermittent network failures should not make the whole process fail (test with random packet drop)

Nice to have:

• daemon that listens for file events and updates a list of files to be backed up on the next backup run - or a continous backup mode - the daemon uploads the file whenever it sees the change
• peer2peer mode - people storing encrypted backups for each other

Implementation:

• test with randomly created dirs and files, with property based tests and fuzzer
• see if we can use salsa for recomputaiton
• index corruption tests - mutate random byte and see if everything is readable
• network packet drop tests
